As we all know, in the stone production line, the crushing and processing of stones is generally completed through the combination of coarse crushing and fine crushing. Users often choose jaw crushers in the coarse crushing process, but many users will struggle with the fine crushing process. Impact crusher or cone crusher , which one to choose? After repeated consideration, it is still difficult to make a decision.
Impact Crusher

In fact, the impact crusher and the cone crusher are used as secondary crushing. There is a big difference between the two in terms of appearance and working principle.
First, the principle of crushing is different . The impact crusher adopts the principle of impact crushing. After the material enters from the feed port, it is repeatedly impacted and crushed between the blow bar and the impact plate until it is formed and discharged; while the cone crusher adopts laminated crushing, rolling the mortar wall Constantly moving towards the crushing wall, squeezing the material sandwiched between the two to make it crushed.

Second, the output granularity is different. Impact crushing has some micro-shaping effects, and the produced materials have sharp edges and corners and good grain shape, which is also determined by the working principle of the impact crusher; cone crushing is divided into coarse, medium, fine, and superfine model, the crushed material is finer and more powdery, but it is also widely used in the market due to its low energy consumption and low noise.
Third, the processing capabilities are different. The processing capacity of the impact crusher is smaller than that of the cone crusher, but the finished product has a better grain shape, and is generally suitable for small building materials or construction projects; while the processing capacity of the cone crusher is stronger, and it is more widely used in large-scale mineral processing projects.
Fourth, the input costs are different. For users, the quotation of the crusher is also a key factor to consider. Generally, the quotation of the impact crusher is lower than that of the cone crusher, and the initial investment cost is small, but there are many vulnerable and broken parts, and the later maintenance work will be more cumbersome; The price of the machine will be higher, and the investment cost may be high in the early stage, but its processing capacity is strong, there are fewer wearable parts, and the operation is relatively stable in the later stage. It is also a good choice in the long run.
In addition to the above-mentioned differences, users should also consider according to the materials they process. For example, when processing limestone, limestone and other materials with hardness below the intermediate level, you can choose an impact crusher; on the contrary, if you process river pebbles, granite, bluestone, etc. For materials with higher hardness, a cone crusher can be considered.
In general, impact crushers and cone crushers have their own advantages and disadvantages, and users can refer to the above analysis for consideration. Users who need to know more information about crushers can click to consult the price !
